NASA CubeSat Finds New Radiation Belts After May 2024 Solar Storm
The May 2024 solar storm created two new temporary belts of high-energy particles surrounding Earth. The findings are particularly important for spacecraft launching into geostationary orbits, which can be damaged as they traverse the dangerous belts.
Heron&Fox PhotoA view of United Launch Alliance’s Vertical Integration Facility at Cape #Canaveral Air Force Station with an #Atlas V #rocket with the Radiation Belt Storm Probes, or #RBSP probes, later renamed the Van Allen #probes, to study the Earth’s magnetic field.
The #AtlasV is on its Mobile Launch Platform and is preparing to be rolled out to its launch pad at LC-41.

After launch, the Radiation Belt Storm Probes were renamed the Van Allen Probes once in orbit, and continue to study the Van Allen Belts and Earth’s magnetosphere.
